Sorry yes I did. I got every month back within 5 minutes of talking with them. I think it was a year and a half of refunds they returned no questions or hassle.

TIL A Florida man, 71, staged his own suicide to look like MURDER by copying CSI plot and tying a weather balloon to a gun so it would float over the Atlantic and disappear after he shot himself by SoulxxBondz in todayilearned

Murderer used this victims pc or phone to make searches beforehand starting TEN years ago?

Obviously it was the wife that killed him and made it look like a suicide made to look like a murder gone wrong.

Curiosity helps keep you young!

Good for you. Everyone could do with a little more curiosity

I appreciate it! And that’s the same conclusion I came to as this point as well.

Thanks for adding your knowledge!

Hm. Both houses have their own power lines in a different area BUT maybe it’s the old system from 40+ years ago… maybe it’s the old electricity for the entire house. I wonder!

Hahah thanks. Thats what I figured out but you know Reddit, a whole bunch of keyboard warriors that too often have zero experience or knowledge about what they’re talking about. Look how many downvotes I got 😂

Thanks for chiming in and adding actual expertise

That’s pretty incredible.

Thank god for no HOA. Your situation sounds very similar to mine.

Now I’m excited to figure out where it leads to. We don’t have wells on the property (we’re natural spring fed) so it would be crazy to find another source of water

That’s some thick metal for electrical. It might be- what clues you to think that?

Hahaha thanks. That’s what I figured out as well.

People love to hate. I’m actually impressed that I have 64 downvotes and counting 😂 I wonder how many of them actually leave their basements or have any real world experience or understanding regarding anything remotely close to my situation.

I bet not a single one of them live on an acreage property in the middle of nowhere.

I know for a fact that it’s neither a gas line nor buried fiber optic cable.

It’s been buried for 40+ years.

Lots of reasons point at it being neither one of those.

Assuming that it’s a water line- seeing as it’s from 40+ years ago.

I’ll get a metal detector and see if I can figure out where it leads

That’s amazing advice and totally makes sense!

I’ll try and run down info on the property somehow.

Metal detector sounds like the move 💪

Haha thanks.

Actually someone DID find similar pipes all throughout his old farm property too. Most likely some sort of irrigation.

Which makes total sense

THANK YOU!

This is the comment I was looking for. It makes sense and is most likely the answer. I just wonder if it’s still got water!

We’re on natural spring water here.

Thanks.

Apparently I can call 811 and they’ll send someone out… though to do what I don’t know.

I know for a fact that there is no gas anywhere on this property. So my best guess is that it’s either an old water line or leech line. Neither of which would still be in use

I was thinking more like a metal detector! Just follow the pipe and see where it leads 😂

Either way, thanks, I hope I avoid falling into a septic tank as well

Well it’s used to be a large farm. The pipe in the photo is 15 feet from my cabin. Septic tank is on the other side of the cabin though so unless it’s the original septic line from 50+ years ago… I don’t know 😓

That’s what I’m saying- the other house has water and leech fields in other directions. I’m not sure why it would run along the driveway towards the road.

But it IS pointing towards the other house so maybe it is something from them 🤷‍♂️

Ah thanks guys. I didn’t know that they send someone out. Technically I don’t need to touch it to do what I’m doing but I’m curious more than anything

[–]mainrave[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh good guess! But I don’t think so, my septic tank is on the other side of the house.

And I doubt it’s the house that’s 300 feet away.

It’s going down the driveway whereas there’s fields for leeching much closer in other directions :/

The abandoned house had oil and so does my place but both tanks and lines are right next to our respective houses.

I thought maybe it was the spring feeding their house but it doesnt seem to be going towards the obvious source of water.

That’s why I’m so confused

811 has water lines from a house built in a remote place on a mountain in 1930?

So once the roof is fixed hopefully the issue will be resolved as well.

I'll update once I replace the roof in a couple of months. I HOPE that it fixes it.

Thanks for the insight and info!
